<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WRabbit, post: 129517, member: 1889&quot;]I have a small collection of porcelain plates and recently purchased one at a local estate sale.&nbsp; It&#039;s mounted in a display case (sealed back), thus the bottom of the plate is not visible. The ornate case is very well made and the plate appears to be professionally mounted.&nbsp; I don&#039;t feel it&#039;s wise at this point to remove the backing to look for an identifying mark, but I think this may be inevitable.</p><p><br /></p><p>The artist is Angelica Kauffmann (signed Kauffman).&nbsp; She didn&#039;t actually paint the plate, but others honored her works by using her images on other items, such as porcelain.&nbsp; I believe Royal Vienna was one of the factories that produced items bearing these images. I&#039;ve determined the original painting was titled &quot;Wreathed by Perfection&quot;.&nbsp; However, I have not found a plate similar to this one as far as shape, porcelain pattern or size.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll add a few pictures and appreciate any info or feedback that may be helpful with identifying this plate. It&#039;s 12&quot; wide and approximately 1.5&quot; deep.&nbsp; I guess it could be considered a shallow bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help with identification appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 616]Original Location by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 617]Front View by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 618]Side View by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 619]Framed Plate by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 620]Close Up by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 622]Sig by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:26 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 621]Frame Detail by WRabbit posted Mar 22, 2016 at 10:06 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
